INDIO HILLS, Calif. (AP) — Police say a car seen driving down a road at twice the speed limit barreled into cyclists racing in California's Tour de Palm Springs, killing one person and seriously injuring another.
The driver was also injured in the crash Saturday morning near Indio Hills, Calif.
California Highway Patrol Sgt. Isaiah Kee told the Palm Springs newspaper The Desert News that the car was seen going 100 mph along the 100-mile charity bike ride route. He says it veered off the road onto the dirt shoulder then back into the path of cyclists.
